Late response, but yeah, I use my card in a case (HAF 932) and I get around 70's when folding overnight. They are surprisingly quiet but they do push a lot of hot air around in the case, which is why I got the HAF :D I can actually max res (1680x1050) with max settings and 2x to 4x AA with decent, and very playable, frames. The factory OC is vely naice, especially for me since I don't care too much for GPU overclocks, plus it was cheaper than all the other stock ones at the time that I bought it.
